I'll try to explain it better: I'm trying to add the following: /home/rome/google-drive/{folder space}/ ipfs-sync prints out: Adding file to /ipfs-sync/google-drive// Where // should look like /ipfs-sync/google-drive/{folder space}/ So for me it looks like that the add command is hanging because its trying to add a non existent path. "/ipfs-sync/google-drive//" doesn't exist. "/ipfs-sync/google-drive/{folder space}/" does exist.
